Bill Eaton's (427TJ's) Newest Ride!

[427TJ]

Yeah, those wood blocks cracked me up when I first saw them. I don't plan any 6-grand "Ronnie Sox" clutch side-step launches so the blocks will stay in there for the time being. This thing's strictly a cruiser, even though it idles like a P-47 Thunderbolt. I've had it out twice on local drives and it is a beast. The front brakes need an adjustment and I need to work-out the tune-up--advance curve and timing tweaks--but so far so good. A buddy (who is far smarter than I am) will help me get the tune-up dialed-in. Sure turns heads out on the street, especially when I idle up to a red light in neutral and it's going "WUMPITY-WUMPWUMPWUMP-WUMPA-WUMPWUMP" with the solids clattering away. It's just obnoxious.
